It's in a small room that is insulated, but doesn't have heating/air conditioning so temperatures do fluctuate quite a bit. I mentioned the outdoor temps because that was the only data point I had, but realize that isn't really very useful, so I measured the ambient temperature in the room just...

That's with both Aquantia NICs plugged in. For context - I just had a look at temperatures here for the last week as the weather has gotten warmer since my earlier post (outdoor temps hit 18°C yesterday, but no idea what the indoor temps were). The highest temperature recorded on the Aquantia...

The stress test that I ran only stresses the CPU and RAM - I would prefer not to subject my bargain basement NVMe with a finite number of write cycles to a stress test. So I would not expect NVMe temps to increase except if air temps in that part of the case increased significantly, which they...

There's no need for speculation here, since I have an N100 system and can run tests. Here are the results from running stress-ng: root@OpenWrt:~# stress-ng --matrix 0 --tz -t 30m stress-ng: info: [7112] setting to a 30 mins run per stressor stress-ng: info: [7112] dispatching hogs: 4 matrix...

enp1s0-pci-0100 and enp2s0-pci-0200 would be the two 10GbE interfaces. The 2.5 GbE interfaces don't report temperatures. Looks fine for now, but it may be worth keeping an eye on them if/when you do start using them. I think running a VPN or IPS at 10Gbps could probably benefit from an N305...

Yikes sounds pretty toasty. It's interesting that your idle power consumption is about the same as I've measured (I'm at about 17W with both AQC113 ports in use and one USB NVMe enclosure), but CPU temps are 40°C higher in your system. Are those power numbers measured at the wall? Also wondering...

It didn't take much force to get everything screwed in. The thermal pad I used was pretty soft, and I never had any concerns about damaging any components, putting strain on the board, or anything like that. I was initially a bit concerned that if I went too thick, it might interfere with the...

There's a metal shim on the underside of the lid where a thermal pad is meant to be applied. The dimensions of the shim are 1 cm wide and I think 11 cm long (but can't recall 100%). The thermal pad I bought was 85x45x2.5mm - and I cut it down to fit with about 2/3 left over. 2.5mm is a pretty...

I completely replaced the factory thermal pad with a 2.5 mm "Thermalright EXTREME ODYSSEY II" thermal pad, and temps on the AQC113s are now down to 47°C. So that's a good 26°C cooler than the highs seen with the original factory thermal pad (although to be fair, ambient temps were a bit warmer...

Great news, glad to hear it's working now!

The "UL" version has an additional UL mark for US and Canada that is not on mine. Here's the photo from Aliexpress:

6.6.73-r1 is the version of kmod-atlantic that I'm using, so I don't think that is the problem. If you run: opkg install pciutils lspci Do you see two entries for AQC113? Here's the relevant output for me: 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Aquantia Corp. AQC113C NBase-T/IEEE 802.3an Ethernet...

You are indeed correct. I was a bit hesitant to remove the board from the case heatsink because it requires unscrewing about 20 screws. But when I opened it, I found that the AQC113 chips and I226-V chips all share the same heatsink and thermal pad. And since the AQC113 are slightly less...

You can do it through the Luci UI by: Go to System -> Software Click the "Update lists..." button Search for "kmod-atlantic" in the Filter box Click install Or through the command prompt with: opkg update opkg install kmod-atlantic Once the drivers are installed, the AQC113 ports should...

Just following up with some more data about the device: Here is the sensor readout during typical operation: eth5-pci-0200 Adapter: PCI adapter PHY Temperature: +70.0°C MAC Temperature: +70.0°C coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +40.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit =...

Here is some additional info on the power supply: Model Number: 50898F-120500A1 (sorry it wasn't really legible in the prior photo) Aliexpress listing: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008123618069.html Dimensions: 118x50x32 mm Weight (minus the removeable plug that connects to the wall...

Feels fine to me, although I'm not too knowledgeable about power supplies. It felt cool to the touch this morning when I took the picture, which I guess means it is reasonably efficient. The light-up DAJING logo is a nice touch over the standard blue LED power indicator (and isn't too annoyingly...

I found this reddit thread of someone looking to do the same thing. One of the comments had a few suggestions for B Key Wifi modules. Or perhaps a USB WiFi adapter might work? I would be pretty concerned about compatibility and wifi performance with this approach, though. I think best approach...

One other note - the above tests were run with Software flow offloading enabled, which did indeed make a huge difference. When disabled the CPU load quickly spiked to 100% and transfer speeds took a bit of a hit: ----------------------------------------------------------- Server listening on...
